Patent number: 10163327Abstract: In system and methods for loss mitigation, accident data associated with a vehicle accident involving a driver may be collected. The accident data may be analyzed, and a likely severity of the vehicle accident may be determined based upon the analysis of the accident data. A communication related to emergency assistance or an emergency assistance recommendation may be generated based upon the determined likely severity of the vehicle accident, and transmitted, via wireless communication, from one or more remote servers to a mobile device associated with the driver. A wireless communication from the driver indicating approval or modification of the emergency assistance or emergency assistance recommendation may be received. A third party may be notified, via a communication sent from the remote server(s), of requested emergency assistance as approved or modified by the driver. An estimated insurance claim may also be generated based upon vehicle accident likely severity.Type: GrantFiled: August 14, 2017Date of Patent: December 25, 2018Assignee: STATE FARM MUTUAL AUTOMOBILE INSURANCE COMPANYInventors: Thomas Michael Potter, Mark E.

Patent number: 10102587Abstract: In system and methods for pre-generating insurance claims, accident data associated with a vehicle accident involving a driver may be collected. The accident data may be analyzed, and a likely severity of the vehicle accident may be determined based upon the analysis of the accident data. An estimated insurance claim may be generated based upon the determined likely severity of the vehicle accident, and transmitted, via wireless communication, from one or more remote servers to a mobile device associated with the driver to facilitate presenting all, or a portion of, the estimated insurance claim to the driver or the insured. A wireless communication from the driver or insured indicating approval, rejection or modification of the estimated insurance claim may be received. The estimated insurance claim may be handled in accordance with the approval, rejection or modification.Type: GrantFiled: July 14, 2015Date of Patent: October 16, 2018Assignee: STATE FARM MUTUAL AUTOMOBILE INSURANCE COMPANYInventors: Thomas Michael Potter, Mark E.

Patent number: 10017153Abstract: In system and methods for theft prevention or mitigation, driver-related data associated with one or more authorized drivers of an insured vehicle may be collected over time. The authorized drivers and the insured vehicle may be covered by an insurance policy issued by an insurance provider. Based upon the collected driver-related data, a database associated with the authorized drivers may be built. Current driver-related data associated with an individual currently driving, attempting to start, or sitting in a seat of the insured vehicle may be collected. It may be determined, using both the database and the current driver-related data, that the individual is not among the authorized drivers. A disablement of an operation of the insured vehicle may be caused, and/or the individual may be caused to be prevented from starting or otherwise operating the insured vehicle, to facilitate preventing or mitigating theft of the insured vehicle.Type: GrantFiled: January 2, 2018Date of Patent: July 10, 2018Assignee: STATE FARM MUTUAL AUTOMOBILE INSURANCE COMPANYInventors: Thomas Michael Potter, Mark E.

Publication number: 20140236614Abstract: Front-end patient financial triage is provided, wherein various financial clearance checks may be processed prior to proceeding with a non-emergent patient encounter. A patient's credit history, historic payment information, and symptoms of his/her financial health, such as employment and income, family size, etc., as well as address and social security number verification may be utilized to help a health care provider determine if a patient may pay for health care services. A web-based configuration tool may be provided for allowing the health care provider to dynamically change rules that define cascading processes of a financial clearance transaction. A health care provider may be able to use this actionable financial information to make better up-front decisions about which financial category may be most appropriate for a patient. Embodiments may help to protect a health care provider's financial liability, reduce bad debt and preventable write-offs.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 14, 2014Publication date: August 21, 2014Applicant: Passport Health Communications, Inc.Inventors: Dustin Ryan Whittier, Lance Clifford Mansfield, Patrick Harkins

Publication number: 20130262154Abstract: Proactive resolution of coordination of benefits (COB) issues is provided. Payer data is received as membership files from a plurality of payers, the payer data including eligibility and member demographic data. Upon detection of new or modified information, a normalizing engine may be utilized to normalize name information, address information, and social security number information into a format for comparing with other stored payer data according to various rules. A matching engine may be utilized to compare the normalized payer data against other insurance provider data to determine COB instances by discovering matches or partial-matches of member information. A set of rules may be applied to determine a primary versus a secondary payer. An output file, which may comprise matches and COB determinations, raw data, and a web interface for accessing archived reports and files and to generate individual member searches, may be provided to one or more payers.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 28, 2013Publication date: October 3, 2013Inventors: Dustin Ryan Whittier, Richard W.

Publication number: 20120312755Abstract: A waste water clarification system is mounted on two road-transportable trailers which meet height and weight regulations and require no additional permitting. An elongate, low-profile clarifier having inclined plate packs supported therein utilizes the dropped bed portion of the first trailer to maximize the usable height to meet transport requirements while optimizing clarification of the waste water therein. Sludge produced in the clarifier section is thickened by gravity in a thickening section mounted on the first trailer. The thickened sludge is delivered to dewatering apparatus on the second trailer which also houses a lift tank for clarified water, chemical storage tanks and a control room for system control apparatus. Linear conveyors, in steep-walled troughs in the bottoms of the clarifier and thickening sections, slowly move the sludge to outlets therein, the speed being slow enough that a sludge blanket which develops in or above the troughs is not disrupted.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 8, 2012Publication date: December 13, 2012Applicant: AQUA-PURE VENTURES INC.Inventors: Dustin RYAN, Kevin LAUMAN, Jacob HALLDORSON
